Description:
The subcellular structures of the myocardium, skeletal muscles, liver and kidneys of adult rats subjected to hypokinesia (in immobilization chambers) for 15, 30, and 45 days were studied. An anabolyser (retabolil) and vitamin D (a Ca metabolism regulator) were administered to two groups of rats. On the second week of hypokinesia, inhibition of synthesis processes was observed. Administration of retabolil increased protein synthesis both in the normal and hypokinesia-subjected rats; however, in the latter group, synthesis did not completely normalize, especially in the myocardium. Administration of vitamin D also stimulated protein synthesis, apparently by normalizing Ca tissue metabolism. The combined action of both preparations was the most effective in normalizing protein synthesis intensity. It was concluded that inhibition of synthesis is related to weakening of hormone synthesis induction and disorder of Ca metabolism.
